A great summer and a tiny book review

-
Hi peeps,

Me again, probably the last post of the summer before I head back to college at the weekend to start my second year! I can't believe I'm saying that because it doesn't feel that long ago since I started.

This summer holiday has been great, full of time with my family, boyfriend and some friends. It has just been lovely to catch up with everyone that I don't really see a lot as I'm away at college,  that's why I love the holidays because I can see people without having to send a text or see them on FaceTime! lol, it has been nice.

I have been to the gym and been working very hard with my trainer. I have been doing a lot of exercise to keep me strong and keep up my balance. In which I haven't seen much lately so I've been working on this a lot by doing walking, extra stretches and exercises at home. I have noticed this more recently and done more to build this up. I have also been doing my own Youtube videos of me working out and in my walker, check them out please. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiB3FxpA08Sw6DsazVl6Lxwh

My new hobby this year but mainly this summer has been reading. I have read 5 books this year! Thats the most I've read since I ever started reading more grown up books since I ever leant to read them lol. I mostly enjoyed Billy and Me by Giovanna Fletcher ( Tom from Mcfly wife) about a girl called Sophie that gives up her dream to go to university and stays at home and gets a job in the teashop in the village where she lives. Then this young man called Billy keeps popping by to see her and they start talking. But Billy has a secret... I'm not giving the story away but I really enjoyed the book and I think thats the best book Ive read.

I have had a great summer and now I am ready to go back to college to start an amazing second year and have new goals and probably lots to blog about.

I know this is a small blog but I just fancied writing today.

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled! Part 1

  Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled  Hey my lovely readers... Hope you are well. As some of you may know, I wrote a book a few years ago however, I couldn't get my head around getting it published so I thought long and hard about how to share it with you all. Therefore, I thought about sharing one chapter a week on my blog, so this week I will publish the "All About Me" and the first chapter.   This was written in 2018, so some of details may not correspond to what you know of me today. All about me: Abbie Smart Hi, my name is Abbie Smart.  I was diagnosed with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy at the age of one, after I had a fit when I was born.  It was recognised because I wasn’t reaching my milestones, such as crawling, walking at all or talking as well as I should have been.  I am a wheelchair user and I use a walker.  I drive my own wheelchair and have done since I was 6 or 7 years old.  I attended mainstream primary and secondary school and have achieved 5 G

  A Year Of Adaptive CrossFit  Hi my lovely readers, I hope you are well.  I know I have done a blog like this before, but I realised that I have been attending my adaptive CrossFit class for a year now, so I thought about doing a blog post about how I am finding it.    I can't  believe it has been a year already, it has a gone so quickly, I have the best time in the sessions and achieved so much in a short space of time, it has been incredible.     Over the past year, I have loved going to the adapted classes, I have enjoyed meeting new people with a wide range of disabilities that have become very good friends. Also I have been able to become stronger in my workouts and been able to achieve things that I felt that it wouldn't have been possible, for example, trying out my friends Rollator. This was one my many highlights of the year ! All of the sessions has made me feel stronger and more mobile. It has helped me to branch out socially with people with a wide range of disabil

My Time With Whizz-Kidz

           My Time With Whizz-Kidz Hi, my lovely  readers, hope you are well.   After my 26th birthday, I moved on from a wonderful charity that  supports children and young people called  Whizz-Kidz, as  I  have grown out of their  age bracket.  However I couldn’t finish this amazing charity without writing a blog about how great my experience has been over the years and talk about the fantastic support I have been given over the years from the start, whether this is support with equipment or help with work placements.   I have absolutely loved working the staff and meeting lots of people with similar disabilities as me, as well as learning about different disabilities along the way.  When I think back on what I have achieved during my time at Whizz-Kidz, I think of the successful work placements which I did face-to-face or online via Zoom. Especially when we were in lockdown, Whizz-Kidz kept me very busy either with a work placement which I completed online, or with a intriguing club
